As you read, make a point of highlighting quotations that became part of the English language.
Also, find your own notable quotations, words that mark a particularly important moment in this chapter.
I hope in the next few days I will have decent wifi connections where I will be staying. I plan on shooting a few very quick videos to give a context and direct your attention to the clues that Puzo hides in the book (usually in plain sight.)

I think I'm having cognitive dissonance when it comes to regarding Don Corleone and Michael as Heros or equalizers. Every person that Corleone helps or goes after, is no better than the Don himself or the life that he leads. This was made clear by Jack Woltz "doing a job" on a twelve year old girl (not saying Don would do this). What I do like about Don Corleone is that he has boundaries and isn't entirely money driven.
